# Add a Device

⚠️ You must have the appropriate permissions to add a device to your company.

Note: The Device can be connected to the WebAccess/DMP instance only if WebAccess/DMP Client Router App is installed in the device. This Router App is installed automaticaly when manufacturing the device, so you do not have to do it manually. In most cases adding the device to WebAccess/DMP instance is enough to connect your device. Otherwise follow Install/Upgrade a WebAccess/DMP client app.

  • User Criteria for adding a Device: You need to have the right permissions, Check the permissions.

# Rules

  • Both removed and new devices can be added.
  • A device can only be added by one company at a time.
  • A company can remove a device it has previously added.
  • A device must be added by a company before it can be managed or monitored.
  • A free company can add up to five unique devices.

⚠️ Once you add five devices, you cannot add more, even if you remove a device. The limit is based on the number of times the "Add" device function has been used successfully, not the current number of devices.
